Chapter 80 Execution of Shan Xiongxin

Who is Li Daoxuan?

He instantly seized this opportunity, and the cold iron spear shook like thunder, swinging open the golden nail Zaoyang spear, and pierced Shan Xiongxin's left shoulder like a poisonous dragon.

Shan Xiongxin had no way to avoid it, and Han Tieshan hit him with one strike.

"Crack!"

Shan Xiongxin's shoulder guard beast was smashed to pieces.

"flutter!"

Han Tie's long spear penetrated Shan Xiongxin's left shoulder fiercely, and the huge pain immediately made the tough guy groan.

Li Daoxuan was even more merciless. He used his arms to knock Shan Xiongxin off his horse.

"boom!"

Shan Xiongxin, who was seriously injured, fell into the dust. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he was dizzy.

Before the green forest hero could come to his senses, Li Shimin had arrived on horseback, and the cold knife in his hand was pressed against his throat.

Shan Xiongxin's face was ashen.

He knew that he would have no chance of revenge in this life.

"Tie up alone."

Li Shimin gave a loud shout, and all the guards of the King of Qin swarmed up. They wiped Shan Xiongxin's shoulders, gathered his shoulders, and tied him up tightly.

Li Daoxuan was anxious: "Hey, second brother, why are you taking my credit?"

Li Shimin said angrily: "What a surprise! Don't worry, you must have caught it."

Li Daoxuan then beamed and said, "Second brother, I'll leave this Shan Xiongxin to you. I'll go kill for a while to enjoy myself."

Saying that, without waiting for Li Shimin's consent, the reckless man slapped his horse in his arms and rushed out in a hurry.

Li Shimin: "..." He really has no choice but to deal with this cousin who is so happy when he hears the war. He doesn't know when he will mature.

Courage is truly brave, and recklessness is truly reckless.

However, with only 500 people, they were able to basically stop about 3,000 flying tiger troops. This ability is not something that ordinary people can do.

Ananda reported back: This boy calls himself a winged cavalry and practices all day long. It seems that he still uses the art of war taught by a military advisor.

It seems interesting.

Li Shimin touched his chin with interest. He would learn more about it another day to see if he could improve the Black Armor Soldier.

Suddenly I looked up and saw that the remaining Flying Tiger Army had been completely surrounded, with less than 2,000 people left.

Li Shimin did not hesitate. These Flying Tigers were the elite of the world. If they could surrender, they would undoubtedly be an extremely valuable asset.

But we can't all be killed here needlessly, it would be a pity.

"Send the order: Let the enemy surrender, and those who surrender will be spared death." Li Shimin immediately ordered.

Immediately, a group of King Qin's personal guards galloped out and rushed around the perimeter of the military formation, shouting for the remaining Flying Tiger Army to surrender.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape and their commander was nowhere to be seen, these remnants finally lost their fighting spirit.

"It's down! It's down!"

After all, they are all Chinese. Being a soldier for whomever you serve is not about eating food and working hard for your life. All the Flying Tigers abandoned their weapons one after another, dismounted and surrendered.

Now that the war has reached this point, everyone owes Wang Shichong nothing.

However, after all, Wang Shichong had been benevolent to the Flying Tiger Army for a long time. Although they were in a desperate situation, there were still dozens of remnants who were surrounded and refused to surrender.

Qin Qiong was not used to these people either. Once the army clashed, the problem was solved.

At the moment, the Tang army quickly cleaned the battlefield, treated the wounded, and rounded up the prisoners of war. Everyone was beaming with joy after winning a complete victory.

Before noon, the Tang army commander's tent.

The military camp that had been busy for a long time finally settled down, and every civil and military official in the commander's tent had a happy smile on his face.

This battle was so beautifully fought.

After the war, the inspection showed that the Tang army had more than 2,000 casualties, but killed more than 4,000 enemy troops and captured more than 5,000 enemies. Only a small number of Zheng troops fled.

In particular, the Flying Tiger Army, the ace of the Zheng Army, was almost completely destroyed. Such a result was truly brilliant.

"Everyone," Li Shimin said with great interest: "After Zheng's defeat, it will be difficult to do anything again. After a few days of repairs, the army will march into Luoyang, looking for an opportunity to break the city."

"The ministers have made outstanding contributions in this battle. I immediately repaired the memorial and handed it to my father to plead for the merits of the ministers."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

When the civil and military officials heard this, they were very happy. After all, as long as they won the battle, no one would have any credit, but they would also have to work hard, and everyone would be rewarded.

"Military advisor." Li Shimin turned his head and said with a smile: "You initiated this battle, gave advice and made decisions. The first credit must be yours."

"It's just that it's very troublesome to confer a title before the army. I'm afraid it has to be recorded in the book first and then be rewarded after the war."

"It's not urgent." Xia Yu smiled and waved her hands, as long as she couldn't run away.

"By the way, there are countless enemies among these prisoners of war. It's easier to deal with ordinary soldiers. Those who are willing to join our army will be reorganized, and those who are willing to disarm will be given travel expenses, and that will solve the problem."

"But, what should we do with Shan Xiongxin and Bayegang? Do you have any suggestions?"

Li Shimin glanced at the civil and military personnel.

Shan and Bu were both great generals in Zheng's army, especially Shan Xiongxin, who was famous all over the world. He had to ask for everyone's opinions.

"Second brother," Li Yuanji said immediately, "What are you still asking? Just like Guo Shancai and Zhu Can, just kill him directly."

Li Yuanji doesn't like Bayeye Gang or anything like that.

Although Shan Xiongxin is the most brave in the world, he has always been very hostile to the Tang Dynasty because of his grandfather's hatred. He killed countless Tang soldiers in all the battles.

Of course we cannot keep such people.

"Yes, just behead them all." At that moment, many people agreed.

At this moment, Luo Shixin, Li Shiji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, and Wang Junkuo all came out and bowed to the ground.

Luo Shixin took the lead and bowed his head and said: "Your Highness, three armies are easy to obtain, but a general is difficult to find. Shan Xiongxin is a good general in the world. It is a pity to kill him."

"I hope His Highness will show mercy and allow him to surrender. I will burst into tears with gratitude."

Only then did everyone remember that Luo Shixin and Shan Xiongxin were both former generals of Wagang and had a close friendship with each other, so it was normal for them to intercede for them.

However, it is up to Li Shimin to decide whether to allow it or not.

Li Shimin hesitated.

If it were another strong general, with his thirsty character, he would certainly not hesitate and use every means to persuade him to surrender.

But the opponent is Shan Xiongxin. Can Shan Xiongxin, who has always regarded Datang as his mortal enemy, persuade him to surrender?

After being persuaded to surrender, can I use it with confidence?

What's more, this man is Wang Shichong's son-in-law.

He wasn't sure.

"Military advisor, what do you want?"

Although he wanted to kill Shan Xiongxin to avoid future troubles, he had to give face to Luo Shixin and other favorite generals. After hesitation, Li Shimin looked at Xia Yu.

Today's King Xiao Qin has great trust in Xia Yu. When encountering difficulties, he instinctively asks Xia Yu for advice.

Xia Yu was a little embarrassed.

He understood Li Shimin's thoughts, and he also understood the feelings of Luo Shixin and others.

If you don't answer this well, you will offend people both internally and externally.

After thinking about it, Xia Yu smiled and said, "I think it's better to ask Shan Xiongxin for his opinion first, and then we can make a decision."

When everyone heard this, they secretly gave a thumbs up: The military advisor's skill in kicking the ball is really good!

"Okay, take Shan Xiongxin with you." Li Shimin had no choice but to comply.

Soon, the tied-up Shan Xiongxin was brought into the tent. Although he was seriously injured, the fierce general still held his head high and showed no fear.

"Shan Xiongxin, I am here to ask you if you are willing to surrender?" Li Shimin's eyes were bright and his mind was conflicted.

Luo Shixin and others quickly winked at Shan Xiong and asked him to surrender and get off the slope. Let the hatred of the older generation be put aside.

Shan Xiongxin turned a blind eye and stared at Li Shimin coldly: "Kill if you want. I will never surrender, so why be so impatient!"

Li Shimin's face darkened: How dare a surrendered general be so arrogant?

At this time, Luo Shixin and others became anxious and spoke out one after another:

"Second brother, are you crazy? Wang Shichong is not the master of the Ming Dynasty, so why do you need to be buried with him?"

"Yes, second brother, back then, Your Majesty and Ling Zu were their own masters and had no personal grudges. It has been so many years, so why can't you let go?"

"Second brother, will you please show mercy to His Highness?"

Luo Shixin and others almost begged Shan Xiongxin to bow his head. After many years of friendship, they really couldn't bear to watch Shan Xiongxin die tragically.

Shan Xiong was moved with confidence, but he couldn't do it if he was asked to kneel down and beg for surrender to the enemy who killed his ancestors.

What's more, Wang Shichong treated him well. If he turned around and surrendered again, wouldn't he become a slave of the Sannu family? How could he show his face to the world!?

A real man has something to do and something not to do, and if he dies, he will die!

At the moment, Shan Xiongxin ignored Luo Shixin and others. He had already made up his mind and did not want his old brothers to get into trouble again.

"Li Shimin, I will never surrender, but I wish for a quick death!" After saying that, Shan Xiongxin said no more, turned around and left the tent on his own, seeking death on his own initiative.

"Second brother!" Seeing Shan Xiongxin's stubbornness, Luo Shixin and others looked desperate.

When Li Shimin saw this, he was annoyed but also very happy. Since Shan Xiongxin wanted to die, he had an explanation for Luo Shixin and others.

"Come here, report that Shan Xiongxin and Ba Ye Gang have been killed." Li Shimin dropped the command arrow calmly.

Seeing that things were irreversible, Luo Shixin and others also accepted their fate.

"Your Highness, can you please send me Shan Xiongxin as a gift to restore the old friendship?" At that moment, Li Shiji made his final request.

"Okay, let's go." Li Shimin was still willing to give this favor.



Outside the tent, the executioner stood ready with a knife.

With tears in his eyes, Luo Shixin and others gave Shan Xiongxin three bowls of farewell wine to Shan Xiongxin who was kneeling to be beheaded. At the same time, he continued to persuade him without giving up.

But Shan Xiongxin didn't say a word. He just drank the wine, put his head on the knife table, closed his eyes and waited for death.

In a moment, the three-tone drum came down, and the sword fell.

A generation of fierce general Shan Xiongxin came to an end, which can be regarded as benevolence and benevolence.

Outside the tent, Luo Shixin and others were distraught, all wailing and bursting into tears.

In the tent, seeing such a scene of deep brotherhood, no matter what position you were in, you felt a little stunned: It's worthwhile to have brothers like this.
